Google Just Made It Easier To Run Linux On Your Chromebook
TechCurmudgeon writes A story in PCWorld's "World beyond Windows" column outlines coming improvements in Chrome OS that will enable easily running Linux directly from a USB stick: "Have you ever installed a full desktop Linux system on your Chromebook? It isn't all [that] hard, but it is a bit more complex than it should be. New features in the latest version of Chrome OS will make dipping into an alternative operating system easier. For example, you'll be able to easily boot a full Linux system from a USB drive and use it without any additional hassle!"
Get back in your box, Richard Stallman!

Like Godwins law, true linux pedantry will continue until the probability of descending into linguistic analysis of libre vs gratis reaches 1.0. At which point the thread should stop altogether.
Wake me up when they post a useful article on how to run Unix on my Macbook Pro.
Fuck that, I've been trying to install FreeBSD on my Commodore 64. Crapping Commodore 1541 disk drive keeps mangling my installation CD.

How long before that's SystemD/GNU/Linux?

You must be new here.
Whenever I read the word "believe" anywhere, I replace it with "make up" or "confabulate". It helps my reading comprehension.
